Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

The other allied forces of the princes also launched a massive attack like a surging tide. At this moment, Fusu had already made up his mind to die, and stood firmly on the city wall, without any intention of retreating. Although Fusu has always been a scholar, he has never slacked off in his basic training. Therefore, although his martial arts value is not high, it is still no problem to deal with one or two ordinary soldiers. However, now is different from the past. Now the princes are attacking together, and with Wang Ben's departure, the defense here has suddenly weakened, which is completely different from before.

The Chu army led by Xiang Yu attacked fiercely. After only half an hour, a large number of Chu soldiers successfully climbed the city wall. Seeing this, Xiang Yu did not hesitate. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the city like lightning. His steps were so fast that he turned three steps into two and jumped onto the city wall in the blink of an eye.

Since the space on the city wall was already narrow and cramped, Xiang Yu, holding a long spear, did not care about it. He used a wide range of moves, and each stab brought a whistling sound of strong wind. Facing such a powerful attack, the court soldiers had no way to get close. They could only watch Xiang Yu galloping on the city wall, unstoppable. At this moment, Xiang Yu truly demonstrated the unparalleled strength and domineering power of the King of Western Chu!

Xiang Yu led the charge and rushed towards the defenders on the city wall with great courage. He wielded his weapon with great force, and wherever he passed, the enemies fell to the ground, either dead or injured. He was like a ferocious beast, tearing a huge hole in the solid city wall, opening up a wide space for the Chu army that kept pouring in from behind him.

Looking at Fusu, although he is a prince, he actually knows nothing about commanding soldiers to fight. Even after going to the northern border and experiencing some wars, he still lacks practical experience and military talent. And the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan has always treated Fusu as a chess piece on his chessboard. Not only that, he also pretended to comply with and support Fusu's idea of ​​governing the country with Confucianism, which made Fusu more and more blindly confident in military decision-making.

Facing such a fierce Chu army and his own inability, Fusu was unable to resist. When Xiang Yu finally occupied the city wall and successfully opened the city gate, poor Fusu had already died in the chaotic battlefield. However, due to the chaos, his body was not found for a while.

At the moment the city gates were opened, Xiang Yu led thousands of elite cavalrymen and rushed towards the palace without hesitation. Fan Zeng, who was standing by, was horrified and tried to stop Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu was already bloodthirsty at this time, and wanted to attack Huanglong directly, so he would not listen to Fan Zeng's dissuasion. No matter how Fan Zeng shouted, he could not stop Xiang Yu's pace.

Seeing Xiang Yu rushing out like an arrow, Fan Zeng was extremely anxious but helpless. He knew that he could not stop Xiang Yu with his current strength, so at this critical moment, he made a prompt decision and quickly adjusted his strategic deployment.

Fan Zeng shouted solemnly, "All soldiers, listen up! Stop chasing the enemy for now, disperse quickly, and search the city for vital military supplies such as food, weapons, and horses!"

Following his order, the Chu army soldiers who had been following closely behind and preparing to chase and kill the enemy stopped and followed the new order without hesitation.

Fan Zeng knew clearly that at this moment, the primary target of other princes must be the magnificent palace. They would rush in, scrambling for gold, silver, jewelry, and plundering the emperor's concubines. In this way, the entire Xianyang city would inevitably fall into chaos. However, Fan Zeng did not follow the crowd to pursue those flashy things, but with a unique vision, he locked his eyes on the materials that played a decisive role in the survival and development of the army.

You know, the Chu army currently has no stable foothold, and even the daily food and grass they need have to rely on the aid of other princes. Before the capture of Xianyang, the various forces could still temporarily unite because of the same goal. But now that Xianyang has been lost, the situation has become complicated in an instant. If the Chu army cannot accumulate sufficient resources and wealth at this time, then in this cruel power struggle, the first to be eliminated or even annexed will probably be the Chu army itself.

Because of this, Fan Zeng knew that this opportunity was fleeting. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would seize this rare opportunity no matter what, and go all out to strive for sufficient food and grass supply, high-quality military equipment, and a large number of brave war horses. Because only by doing this can the Chu army have enough strength to continue to march northward and conquer important areas such as Beidi and Longxi with a thunderous momentum. Once these places are successfully occupied, they can be built into a solid and reliable base, laying a solid foundation for the future struggle for hegemony, ensuring that they will always be invincible in this fierce and cruel battle for hegemony.

Fan Zeng has always been cautious and thoughtful, with a long-term vision and the ability to take the overall situation into consideration. Although he did originally formulate a strategic plan to capture Xianyang City, he also understood that he had to flexibly adjust the strategy according to the evolving actual situation. After all, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and a slight mistake may lead to a complete loss. What Fan Zeng did not expect was that Gao Yao could now defeat the entire 300,000 elite troops sent by the court!

This surprising result was beyond his expectations, making the entire battle situation even more confusing. Faced with such a sudden change, Fan Zeng had to re-examine the current enemy and our situation, and only after careful consideration could he make the most wise and reasonable decision and deployment.

Originally, Fan Zeng was quite optimistic about the situation of this war. He firmly believed that the imperial court had a great chance of winning. After all, from all aspects of analysis, the Southern Border Army seemed to be at a clear disadvantage. First, their geographical advantages were relatively limited; second, the number of troops and generals was far behind that of the imperial court. More importantly, many of the soldiers were soldiers who later surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. This situation could easily lead to problems such as unstable military morale and floating people's hearts.

According to Fan Zeng's original idea, even if the Southern Border Army had a chance to win, it would take at least half a year or even longer to really decide the outcome. In this way, the Chu Army would have enough opportunities to recapture Kuaiji. What shocked everyone was that in just four months, the situation had changed drastically - the imperial army suffered a complete defeat! This result was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Fan Zeng's heart hard and bringing him an unprecedented huge shock.
